Assessing the contribution of charge exchange and Coulomb collisions to ring current proton dynamics with the new 4-D Proton Versatile Electron RadiationBelt (proVERB) code

Abstract: <p>Ring current particles affect the terrestrial magnetic field configuration, altering particle trajectories, as well as presenting a surface charging hazard for satellites. These particles can act as a seed population for the electron radiation belts and generate plasma waves. Accurately describing ring current dynamics is crucial to understand the near-Earth plasma environment. Here we report on our first results of the expansion of the Versatile Electron Radiation Belt (VERB) code to model ri… Show more
